- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “The directors are of the opinion that the principal risks the company faces are a continued delay in the government's re-structuring of the rail sector and establishment of the GB Rail organisation to manage both the passenger and freight sectors, the global uncertainty associated to the Ukraine conflict and recent developments in the middle east, impacting the UK's security and supply chains.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
